all about details

Neutral tones, a touch of turquoise and a lot of attention to detail make this home absolutely perfect!  Everything from the wood panelled ceilings to the sparkling chandeliers to the spindles on the stair rail are so well thought out.  I will be spending the rest of the day dreaming about moving in here!

winter wonderland

Growing up in upstate New York, I'm no stranger to snow and ice.  I would spend more than six months out of the year sledding down the side of the Erie Canal in my backyard, building snowmen and snow tunnels, and pretending I was an Olympic skater on the ice.  This year, winter in the city is reminding me a lot of those wonderful memories, bundled up like a little snow bunny and refusing to come inside until my teeth were chattering and my fingers turned blue.  I may be one of the few New Yorkers who is actually enjoying all of the snow we've been getting (although, I could do without the dirty slush).  But these days, I'd much rather be wearing something from this glam fashion montage found on 1st Dibs.  It may not be appropriate for igloo building but it's perfect for wandering the snowy streets of NY! 

I was so inspired by the muted colors and sumptuous textures that I've sourced a few pieces to recreate this look in your home.  A little leather, some sparkling gold and crystal, and a fluffy fur pillow... you've got your own little winter wonderland!

mumbai luxury

Ashiesh Shah, decorator to Bollywood actors, has taken a small, two bedroom duplex in Mumbai and opened it up into an airy studio filled with antiques and artwork that you won't find anywhere else.  His combination of modern, crisp pieces alongside ancient treasures has created a space of both comfort and history... not an easy task!

 Check out the first four steps, they open up like drawers for added storage!

writing on the wall

I love the idea of keeping a chalkboard in the home.  Whether it's used for to-do lists, notes, inspirational quotes or as a creative outlet for children, they can be a great way to add some fun as well as function to your space. 

Go to Country Living or Design Sponge to find out how to make your own chalkboard with paint!
